Need a little help from a friend...

Hi bud,

This is JUST what I need, but I get an issue with the ring.authentication call. Any ideas? (Sooorry - yes, I'm blindly following instructions as I don't normally use node...)

bjornand1 commented 6 years ago

I am also completely new to this and have so far only installed Homebridge plugins that have required adding lines to the config.json file. It seems for doorbot, this is not how you configure the plugin?

@cjax123 Can I get an example of how you are using it?

@bjornand1 This isn't the home bridge plugin, this is a raw module to talk to a Ring doorbell. You want this project: https://github.com/homespun/homebridge-platform-ring-video-doorbell

Hi bud,

So, to give a little detail (any many thanks btw), I'm on win10, and have installed Node. I've also run the npm install for doorbot etc. When I open a command prompt and run the 'URL-generating' script you wrote (which I saved as list.js), I get an error saying ring.authentication isn't a function. I had put my email and password to ring in the file, where specified.

Interestingly, I can get some of your other scripts to run, such as the one that downloads the videos (although it stops after about 20).

Ideally, I'd really like the URL one to run, so I can throw the URLs into a downloader...

Also, I'm in Aus, so apologies for the sporadic timing.

Thanks, Charlie

@cjax123 Which script? ring.authenticate isn't in the newer version of the module as it's handled under the hood for you.

cjax123 commented 6 years ago

Hi bud,

It was this one

https://github.com/davglass/doorbot/issues/4

I’m only after a list of urls, so I steered away from the new module and was hoping this would work.

Thanks

@cjax123 I've added a proper example using the newer API: https://github.com/davglass/doorbot/blob/master/examples/links.js

cjax123 commented 6 years ago

You are fantastic - that’s so appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi, this is probably not the right place to post this, but I truly hope someone can help. I have homebridge running on my Synology NAS installed using Synology Package for Homebridge Docker. When I try to install the https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-platform-ring-video-doorbell plugin, I get the node-gyp rebuild error. If I try to run a terminal in the Docker package and the recommended % apt-get install libpcap-dev command, it does not work. While I know very little about terminal commands, I assume it is because the paths or something get mixed up when running homebridge this way. Could anyone shed some light on how to install this plugin properly?

davglass commented 6 years ago

@bjornand1 I have no idea on that as I've never used it. I would need to see the actual error that is being generated, it will likely tell you what packages need to be installed inside the container to allow whatever module is breaking to compile. My gut tells me it's likely avahi-devel that needs to be installed.

Thanks for offering to help, davglass! Here is the messages that appear when trying to install:
